Hi all,

I recently had a number of issues with my audio driver. My Realtek HD Audio Manager was not detecting my headphones and earphones, and I decided to try and resolve this issue. A forum post on another website advised me to force my computer to revert to Windows' native audio manager by uninstalling Realtek HDA, then creating a spoof folder called Realtek.

The instructions I was following are as follows:

① disable, disconnect or unplug any internet connection to prevent Windows from reinstalling the driver, ② uninstall "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver" and restart to make sure it's gone, ③ go to C:\Program Files and create a new folder called "Realtek", ④ open the properties dialog, go to the "Security" tab and click on "Advanced", ⑤ click on "Change Permissions", then "Disable inheritance", and in the new dialog select "Remove all inherited permission from this object", ⑥ click on "OK" and "Yes" etc. to apply the changes.

At the moment, I am unable to access my spoof Realtek folder. I have tried wresting ownership of the folder in advanced settings, using administrator privileges as well, but am unable to. How do I resolve this?
